the French campaigns in Italy after 1794, especially under Napoleon (no. X, 10 January 1799, later reprinted separately). He outlines the extent of the damage with detailed information of monetary losses suVered by the individual dukedoms, kingdoms and provincial governments, through the looting of banks and city coVers. With great eVect, he speciWes the cultural damage done by pointing out that more than Wve hundred paintings by Raphael, Titian, Correggio and Carraccio have been stolen. Famous libraries, containing the collections of Haller’s herbal and anatomical plates, Spallanzani’s library, and endless priceless volumes of manuscripts have been dispersed from the Ambrosiana, the Vatican library, and countless other institutions. Mallet du Pan (1749–1800), Swiss political and social critic is generally regarded as a pioneer of modern political journalism. He studied in Geneva, but left an academic career for the more exciting career of a publicist. After collaborations with Linguet on the Annales historiques, he founded the Memoires historiques, politiques et litteraires sur l’etat present de l’Europe, which later merged with the Mercure de France. As its political editor he supported the aristocratic adherents of constitutional government, but gradually his political opinions veered more to the right. He emigrated to Switzerland in 1792 and in 1798 to England, where he founded the Mercure Britannique, which he edited until his early death in 1800. A detailed index to the Wrst twenty-four issues is provided at the end of volume three. Due to the death of Mallet du Pan the journal was discontinued in 1800 and issue thirty-six concludes with his obituary. See Cioranescu 42081, Graesse IV, 454, Hatin 282 and Martin & Walter 913 for French edition; for further information see France Acomb, Mallet Du Pan, 1973.

First edition, rare, of this extensive priced auction catalogue of the Marck library. Nearly nine and a half thousand titles are listed, divided by format susanne schulz-falster rare books
and then in detailed subject groupings. Areas covered include predictably theology, but also law, politics, philosophy, history, medicine, emblem and illustrated books, mathematics, and travel. The collection includes many 15th and 16th century books as well as early manuscripts. The catalogue is priced throughout in a contemporary hand, with a Wnal adding up of the sales’ total on a separate leaf bound in at the end. Because of its comprehensiveness this auction catalogue was recommended in early bibliographical manuals (Struve-Jugler and Schelhorn, Anleitung für Bibliothekare und Archivare, 1791). There appears to be some confusion as to whose library this really was: NUC puts it under Henricus Hadrianus van der Marck, the British Library under Joannes à Marck, a professor of theology and Blogie attributes the catalogue to Thomas Nicolaas van der Marck. The books, or at least a large proportion of them, were in 1727 sold at auction again, entitled Bibliotheca Marckiana, but then with the owner Henricus Hadrianus van der Marck mentioned on the title, this time the auction was conducted by Petrus de Hondt, the son of Abraham. ‘Except for the somewhat greater proportion of incunabula and books from early catalogue fourteen
